What are your general comments?

"The committee interview was fairly challenging. Although I felt the interview had no flow, i was interrupted several times, and the questions seemed scripted and trite, the interviewers were not trying to be antagonistic or mean-spirited. Be prepared to have your values challenged and your motivations questioned but do not panic. "I dont know" is always a valid answer. " Report Response
